MS Office 2003 trial expired

My 60 day trial of Office 2003 expired the other day and I can't import my
mail into 0ffice 2000. The computer is a Compaq SR1120NX running XP Home
Edition service pack 2. Am I leaving out any information?

Activate Trials and Convert to the Full Version

Convert Your Trial
When the trial period ends, Office Standard Edition 2003 will go into
reduced functionality mode. Learn how you can convert the trial software
to the full version of Office Standard Edition 2003 or Office Student
and Teacher Edition 2003 without removing or reinstalling software on
your computer.

After the trial expires, the software goes into reduced functionality
mode. In reduced functionality mode you can continue to view and print
files, but you cannot modify existing files or create and save new ones.

I never attempt a trial on software I already have (ie update) as it always
screws around with you computer. Zone Alarm trial ended in disaster, which
left me with no firewall for a short while, and updating MS Office buggered
up my perfectly legit copy of Autoroute, even tho' Autoroute is not part of
the Office installation!.

Office 2003 seemed to be better than 2000. I preferred the new Outlook and
Word. The clipboard was better but I needed more time to get used to it. If
I didn't have to buy a new tool box ($2000 or more) I would have bought it
today.

I also use the developer toolkit. So I kept the OLD Office package installed
AND installed the new. Obviously, the distributed work I do stays in the
older version, but I get to use the newer versions for most other work.
Someday I'll get the boss to pop for the toolkit, but we have "hardware
issues" to take care of first.
